Beach volleyball

A beach volleyball net with a real rally going on: the ball at the top of its arc and two players up at the net.

The press screenshot is taken from below the net line. One player is stretched full out at the top of a jump, hands above the ball; another is coming up behind him. The ball hangs at the apex. A third person watches from the sand in a wide hat.

Behind them stands a white residential tower and a line of palms, which places it on the Vice City beachfront rather than in the Keys.

The staging is the detail: this is a point being played, not two people standing near a net. Whether a player can take part is not shown.

How to recognise it

• A regulation net with a rally in progress
• A player at full stretch at the top of a jump
• The ball at the apex of its arc
• A residential tower and palms behind, on the Vice City beachfront

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 653 by 734 of it. Also in it: Vice City and a lifeguard quad.

What we still do not know

• Whether volleyball is playable
• Whether it has a scoring system
• Whether you can play with another character
